ESPN's Adam Schefter first tweeted news of the deal with Big Blue Wednesday morning as NFL free agency kicked into high gear; the Super Bowl-winning Giants share a stadium with the Jets in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Marshall, who turns 33 on March 23, has never been to the playoffs in his 11 NFL seasons and had widely been expected to hook up with a team he considered to be a postseason contender.

The Giants returned to the playoffs last season after a five-year absence, but an improved defense and the addition of Marshall to the receiving corps that features global superstar Odell Beckham Jr. make them Super Bowl-ready.
